Does a tornado move in a predictable path?

Tornados are generally unpredictable in terms of their exact path and can change direction rapidly. Meteorologists use various tools to forecast tornado activity and issue warnings, but the specific path a tornado will take cannot be predicted with certainty.


What determines a tornado's EF rating?

A tornado's Enhanced Fujita (EF) rating is determined based on the estimated wind speeds and damage caused by the tornado. The rating takes into account the extent of damage to structures, vegetation, and other objects along the tornado's path. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), with wind speeds increasing with each higher rating.


What is the most damaging part of a tornado?

That depends on the tornado. In a single vortex tornado the most damaging part would be the edge of the tornado's core, analogous to the eye wall of a hurricane. In a multiple vortex tornado, the most damaging part would be the subvotices that orbit within the main circulation of the tornado.


What is the curved path an object takes when it is thrown?

The curved path an object takes when it is thrown is called a projectile motion. It is influenced by both the initial velocity of the object and the force of gravity acting on it. The shape of the path is typically parabolic.


Which direction do tornadoes move once they are on the ground?

Tornadoes can move in any direction, but on average they travel from southwest to northeast in the United States. The specific path a tornado takes is influenced by various factors such as wind patterns, topography, and storm dynamics.

What would weather experts say if a tornado was coming to were you live?

In that event a tornado waring would be issued for your area. Weather experts would tell you to get underground or to some other safe location. If you were to read the warning, it would say about where the tornado is, when it was spotted, the direction it's moving and how fast. Sometimes the warning may list places in the potential path. See the link below for an example of a tornado warning with a tornado that has been spotted. The tornado did go on to hit Roseboro, a town mentioned to be in the path.

The average tornado damage path is about 50 yards wide and 5 miles long.
